38 Week Appt and update on "us"
Hello everyone! My little lady made me a liar today... she hadn't been moving very much the past couple of days so I mentioned it to the midwife so they did a sono and an NST and don't you know she started moving and didn't stop!!! I was relieved to have her so active again... it was really abnormal for her not to move.
I know they run out of room at the end- but we were going like 7-9 hours with no movement. This happened to Zachary and I had to be induced because he failed a biophysical scan miserably.
So I'm schedule for another appointment on 2/10 and they are going to do another growth scan and most likely induce next week due to my history and her size (she's measuring 1 week ahead and her head is measuring 3 weeks ahead of schedule OUCH!)
Zachary has strep throat and a double ear infection... he's just so miserable coughing... but in surprisingly good spirits.
As for me- I'm really depressed. I was laid off last Friday and I feel like part of me died. I loved my job, I was good at it and I already miss it terribly. I was a contractor and was due to be hired in Oct 08 but the economy tanked and they implemented a hiring freeze. I've managed to remain a contractor for the past 2 years (against company policy) They were sued a couple years ago for not hiring their contractors after a year- due to benefits etc. So the deal is I have to be laid off for at least 90 days..... seems perfect right? Except they don't know if they will be able to bring me back.... The contract agency I work for is trying to get me a new job already today. Um..... hello...... I'm going to be giving birth next week....... if I decline I'll lose my unemployment.... I'm in a serious situation... I'm ready to bust into tears at the drop of a hat.
I feel like I'll definitely have a case of PPD...... if I don't get my unemployment- we will be toast.
Anyways Thanks for listening..... I feel like all I do is complain........ but then again I feel like nothing ever works out :( I'm super lucky to have my children... but I feel horribly guilty if I can't provide for them.

Thanks Liz... yes I could accept the job for a couple of days.... however the maternity leave would be unpaid.... so regardless..... no money coming in :(
I hope it all works out too.... Something..... sometime...... has GOT to give.......
Oh.. did I mention that I found my very first grey hair yesterday OMG!

It seems like things happen all at once, doesn't it? I'm so sorry about your job. I remember when you got that job, and I know you were really happy with it. I hope things work out. My maternity leave will also be unpaid. I have to go on FMLA. I'm already worried about that, so I can understand wondering how you are going to pay for things. I'm going to hold out hope for you that something works out for you - both with the birth of this little one, and on the job front.
